You can multi list at different transplant clinics across the country. They just require you to be able to travel quickly on call. Steve Jobs has a private jet so he pick anywhere in the US.

And each type of organ has different priority criteria. Kidneys for example you have a wait time and compatibility score. Liver is by MELD score and how healthy the person it (sick enough to need it but not too sick!)

Also a lot of transplant patients fall under Medicare and are not rich at all.
